How to make paper with kids

The weekend is coming and we thought you might enjoy a nice arts and crafts blog. Because we love paper so much, how about learning together how to make paper with kids? Ye, we know we are a paper company but this blog post probably won’t make us go bankrupt. Let’s say it’s just for fun with the kids okay? Promise us that you won’t go and make your own office paper by hand…

You will need:

• A kid…
• Any kind of old junk paper (mail, newspapers)
• Kitchen Blender
• Bucket
• Holed window screen or any plastic or metal screening
• Towel
• Cutting board
• News paper and Cotton cloth

And Now… Making Paper!

1. Rip the paper into small pieces and soak them in a bucket with warm water. Soak it overnight or for a couple of hours, depending on your kids’ level of patience. You can also throw in the mix some natural decorations like leaves and
   
2. Pour the mix into a blender and fill it with water, to about half. Then blend the watery mix in order to get a smooth liquid.
3. Evenly spread the mix on the screen and place it on the towel.
4. Press the screen with the cutting board and squeeze out the liquids. Use a sponge to absorb any of the remaining liquids.
5. Spread a newspaper on the floor and put the cotton cloth above it. Turn the screen over the cloth and detach the paper.

Watermark Papers. When your business needs extra security

You have a $10 bill? Okay, now hold it up to the light and look at the empty space that's right of the middle portrait. Can you see Mr. Hamilton appear? (If you don’t… well, I wouldn’t go to the bank with it.) This is called a watermark. It’s an image or pattern that is embedded in the paper which appears in different lightning and caused by thickness variations in the paper.

The watermark functions a signature or proof of originality and helps businesses, banks or governments to avoid forgery of important documents. Watermarks can be also found on bank notes, passports, contracts or tickets.

There are two types of common watermark papers, the one is called Dandy Roll and the other is called the Cylinder Mould.

The Dandy Roll process involves pressing the paper with a metal stamp (dandy roll) that is water coated. The final result is a patterned mark that lets more light pass through that thinner portion of the paper.

The Cylinder Mould provides a much clearer watermark by incorporating tone changes to create an actual image on the paper.

Brand New Rag - Buy Rag Paper

When you are on the job hunt, you know that the contents of your resume matters, but the presentation of your resume matters as well, if not more. Employers receive hundreds of job applications and you have to make sure that yours stick out.

Try a snappy, catchy title or a colorful envelope. Wrap your portfolio in a unique folder. Print your resume on a luxurious paper; a paper that catches attention; a paper that’s made out of rags.

Yep, if you’re looking for the best quality paper to print your resume on – choose Rag Paper. You see, most types of papers are made from wood while rag paper contains special fabric fibers, mostly cotton. Now fabric papers are much stronger, durable to wear and tear and have a distinctive look. Cotton is also pH neutral so this paper is great for archival or art prints which will last ages.

Limited Papers is your best source when you want to buy rag paper from top manufacturers. Atlas bond rag paper is a top seller. Those who prefer to use "green" products are especially fond of it, since all Atlas bond rag paper is made of 25 percent cotton and 30 percent post-consumer material.

Recycled Office Paper. It's time to make a change!

Can you imagine life without paper? Sure, we see a technological change in the shape of e-mail and e-books, but really, can you imagine what it will be like waking up without the morning newspaper? Can you give up the cereal box? Forget about turning the pages of a book while riding the train? Or even leaving the personal touch that you make when you sign a letter?

People use paper since the 2nd century CE and it’s hard to believe that paper will ever disappear. What’s even more interesting is the fact that we recycle paper for more than 300 years! Yep, recycling paper is not a recent trend or just a green phase. About 60% of the paper we consume is recycled, which is a pretty cool fact.

Most of us have accesses to community recycling programs and in some states, recycling is the law. Recycling paper can save us energy and natural resources, prevent pollution and boost the growth of green technologies.

Many businesses around the nation decided to use only recycled paper or other types of green paper such as Acid Free paper, Cotton fiber paper, Green E-certified or FSC certified paper. How about you?
